The Constitution states that there will be two senators per state. With the current 50 states, there are 100 Senators.

The number of members in The House of Representatives has been fixed at 435 members since 1911. The number of Representatives for each state is determined by population, with each state guaranteed one representative. South Dakota has one, California has 53. The number of representatives is re-apportioned between states every 10 year census. The highest number of representatives was 437 when Alaska and Hawaii were added in 1959, but reduced by re-apportionment back to 435 after the 1960 census.
